Keeping Up Its Bloody Record.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, May H.
American Valley, in Socorro county,
this territory, has perhaps been the
scene of more cold blooded murders
than any other locality in the south
western regions. The report of anoth-
er murder came from there yesterday
to the effect that William Slaughter
one of the wealthiest stock raisers in
New Mexico. had been killed by two
men named Youngblood and Adkins.
Last year Mr.. Slaughter was member
of the Socorro county grand
jury and a large number of men
were indicted for cattle stealing,
among them Youngblood and Adkins.
1t was believed that Slaughter was
mainly instrumental in procuring in
dictments, and bad blood has existed
between him and the men ever since.
On Friday Slaughter met Youngblood
and Adkins in American Valley about
thirty miles from his home rancho,
when an altercation took place, result
ing in both men firing upon Slaughter,
who was unarmed. Slaughter at
tempted to escape from the assassins
by putting spurs to his horse, but they
pursued him, firing until he fell from
the saddle. pierced by half dozen bul"
let's, and died without agroan. Officers
are in pursuit of the murderers.

houses of ill-repute, and that she had
Improper relations with one Willis
Smith and with Mr.. Gill, manager of
Evan Lewis, the "strangler." When
Gen. Harndon heard the charge made
against his daughter, he came to Chi
cago and had the proceedings set aside.
Mrs. Curtis then filed cross bill deny

glad news that an Uncle Toms Cabin.

IT the hearty cooperation of the
newspapers goes for anything, the ter

Every citizen should take special
pride in these meetings and help put
Dakota in the lead in this as in every
thing else.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE presi-
dent will probably take considerable
time before making his selection for
the supreme court vacancy, although
to be rid of the opportunities with
which he will certainly be beset, he
may not delay as long as he would
wish. Not few of the veteran office
holders of the south would be glad to
take this dignified and comfortable
position, and the names of several of
them are already to be seen IN the list
of prospective appointees. Others of
those who would like the place are be-
yond 60 years of age and it is consid-
cred that the selection should be made
from men much younger. AT the time
the nomination of judge Merrick was
before the senate the judiciary COM
mittee of that body was against recon-
mending for confirmation to a judicial
position any man past sixty years of
age. Unless there should be extraor-
dinary reasons to the contrary the SEN
ate would be apt to oppose the nomina-
tion of any man beyond the prescribed
age. Senator Pugh, of Alabama, is
among those mentioned. He is over
sixty, and, as member of the judiciary
committee, he has been most decided
in the opinion that a man more than
sixty was too old to be put on the
bench,

The Chicago Situation.

CHICAGO. May 19.-The number of
idle men who have either struck or
have been locked out is rapidly in
creasing. 1t was estimated yesterday
at from ten to twenty thousand. The
number probably does not exceed 49,
600, but by the end of the present week
it will be largely increased. Not more
than 500 brick layers are at work, and
their occupation will be gone as soon
as they exhaust the stock of material
on hand. Employers IN other trades
are gradually forced to stop work be-
cause they are reaching point in con-
struction at which they canInot proceed
until the brick layers run up the walls
another story. A greater number of
carpenters were out yesterday than at
any time since the end of the carpen-
ters strike was reached. The outlook
is not promising for either contractor
or laborer, but both appear to take a
cheerful view of the situation and
seem to be as determined as ever not
to yield point.
